Angel Face by Artist Purvis Young

About

Internationally known artist Purvis Young (1943- 2010), was recognized as a master painter by the art world. An OUTSIDER artist, Young was self-taught and self-educated. He substituted a lack of formal education with intensive reading and study and was knowledgeable and sophisticated about the history of art. His work was as prolific as it was unique, especially when you consider he painted on just about any found object. Young’s art is widely collected and can be found in many private collections, public institutions and museums throughout the world.
This painting of an angel's face was acquired from the artist and although it is not dated, it is rather early and it therefore tends to be more desirable.
